Overdue profile update! Wow, I can't believe how long and rambling this thing was previously. If you're reading this, you want to know who I am. I was born 1991, which currently means 20 years old, female, nihilistic. I draw, I read, I write, though the latter not so much lately. My art is on www.kaytara.deviantart.com. I study ecology at college. English is a second language for me, so if anything I write feels weird, well, there's my excuse. On that note, I also speak Russian, German and French, so feel free to contact or review in either of those. (Might want to go easy on the French, though...)

I like fantasy and RPGs and elves and compelling drama. In stories, I look for logic, coherence, plausibility, and intelligent exploration of morality and psychology, which is just fancy speak for "dislike black&white morality and like interesting and believable characters".

My favourite fandoms include the Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age series, the Order of the Stick webcomic, and the Elder Scrolls series. And, apparently, BBC's Sherlock. Damn, it's awesome.

"Trial by Fire"? Yeah, indefinite hiatus, though I still hope to finish it someday. Mostly I've lost track of what I want the story to end like. At the time I started it, I wanted a Happy Ending sort of Mainquest fic, but that's been making less and less sense as I've progressed. Once I've decided definitely what the story is *about, philosophically, I'll come back to it.

Full Circle is a 31k word Good Omens fanfiction series that spawned uncontrollably out of a malicious little plot bunny in the night about the events and consequences of a final Apocalypse. It consists of And So We Come Full Circle, Feathers and Coils, Refuge (Interlude), To Infinity, and Safe (Epilogue). I strongly recommend you read the series on AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/series/21055), since that version includes illustrations and links to further material and fanart in the comments.

If you read something of mine, I beg you humbly, REVIEW. Like or dislike? Word use? Pacing? Purple prose? Characterisation? Reviews are like sunlight - not regularly essential, but go too long without, and you get depressed.

Zombie AU based off of a LJ prompt. Rating changed due to graphic content. TW: Gore/Violence, Suicidal Thoughts/Actions, Character Death.

Sherlock Holmes considered himself knowledgeable on many things. But that didn't prepare him for this. Didn't prepare him to watch John suffer for him.

If Lestrade hadn't known any better, he'd have thought Sherlock had been reincarnated as a twelve year old boy at a London cafe. "I'm not normal; I'm an outlier. And people always find the outliers... odd." The DI wondered if that was how he had felt too.

Alistair/PC. Anyone new to it would get quite a shock when entering an alienage, when that man is human, and his elf lover's family is there with her dark past he hasn't heard about...well that's just a new level of discomfort.

Years pass, and some things change, while other doesn't. They maybe didn't get to spend their life together the way they wanted, but perhaps they get their last moments together instead. "Just like old times, eh?" Alistair/femPC

Grey Warden Kassandra Tabris makes a decision with potentially fatal consequences, not only for herself but also for Alistair. As she struggles to come to grips with her choice, the final battle against the archdemon looms ever closer...

He knew it when his clothes got baggy. He knew it when all they ate were from stale cans. He knew it when they called his name from the list and took him away to be slaughtered. An insight into Tarsus IV.

Events from the end of the game that needed some expanding. Conversations between a city elf and Alistair. My first attempt at fanfic, so please R/R. If this goes well, I'll try my hand at a more original story.

Nadia Amell awakes from nightmares every night. Abominations and the Harrowing are not the only thing to fear in the tower. All Templars are male, and trained the nullify the one defense the females they are set to guard about have: Magic. A very dark fic, apologies

Angsty/sad one-shot, serving as a prequel to a possible Fem!Cousland/Teagan fic. Takes place at the "celebration" end-game. Dedicated to Zachary S. Born in April 2009, and taken by God Dec 11 2009. Seems apropos.

Sequel to ST:Extinction. Six months later, against his better judgment Spock is keeping Kirk's secret about his obligation to the Romulans. When a series of events points to a spy in Starfleet's midst Spock begins to fear his silence is too costly.

Blood can only be repaid in blood. It wouldn't be an act of vengeance, but of atonement. She would do it for him, because she loved him. She'd always loved him. Spoilers for the end of the game and Mage origin. Fem!Amell/Jowan, implied Fem!Amell/Alistair.

Five times it sucked to be Starfleet's youngest crew, one time they got away with it, and one time it probably saved them. Someone asked for an exploration of the 'really young' dynamic of the new crew. Turned out to be...kinda crack-y.

First, Dr. McCoy tried a little Group Therapy to deal with certain pesky crewmembers, including Kirk and Spock. Now, he decides that "Laughter is the best therapy". One problem: Mr. Spock never laughs.

The Enterprise is sent to explore an absolutely quiet and peaceful sector. The crew is slowly going crazy from boredom and looks for new hobbies and entertainments. Contains some dubious shenanigans, bare bottoms, and an novel reason for earning a medal.

One shots based on various songs. will be angsty, will contain slash, child abuse, swearing, mentions of torture and rape. if present in a story it will say before the chapter starts. some will be connected some won't. lots of K/S but mostly friend or pre

I always thought it was River who was lost without her big brother. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't the other way around." -Gabriel Tam. What was Simon's life like before he had his little sister? What did he feel when she was born?

Spock Prime is killed before his people are settled, and the man who could not save him finds himself repeating a future he will never experience. Now McCoy must lay the dead to rest before he crumples under a burden humans were not built to bear.

His own personal brand of insanity, it seemed, was contagious; and no Vulcan was willing to risk their minds for the half breed. Looks like the only thing between Spock and disaster is the blue-eyed boy from Iowa, standing on the cusp of revolution. K/S

His eyes had moved slowly to the stage, the people and din around him fading out until she was his sole focus. And there the Knight Captain stood, very much alive.' Post NWN2 OC. Inspired by 'This Bottle of Wine' by Maria Mena.

First in a Trilogy: The ignorant believe we have no feeling...a false assumption indeed. Ours are greater than any race- emotions we must suppress...If our logic fails...Vulcan fails...for what we bind has the power to destroy.

It's a few weeks before New Year's Eve and Spock has just saved the Captain and the ship. He was only doing his duty, but his crewmates think otherwise. Can't Spock take a little gratitude? A Spock story with a little S&J friendship thrown in.

Drabble: He smiled as he held her. He could feel the power flowing through her, mixing with the dark taint of both the archdemon and the darkspawn. But she was his daughter, and he could not help but love her.

When a dangerous enemy thought defeated resurfaces, Jim must turn himself over to him in order to save the life of an old friend. Author's notes inside. K/S/SP friendship, no slash. Rated T for violence and hurt!Jim Please review!

It's all about contact and assurance. A Vulcan and a doctor come to an understanding during a mild crisis. Or-- the doctor comes to understand the Vulcan a bit better and the Vulcan refrains from smashing the doctor to bits.

Five times my title was too long for this site... Jim's a disaster area, and the whole of the Enterprise is aware of this fact. Good thing he's got two best friends to keep him out of trouble. Slightly disgusting. Contains much medical shenaniganery.

Prompt: Five people that made Spock feel more alone in a crowd than he did by himself and one person that made him feel loved and happy before he even realized he felt lost. Kirk/Spock pre-slash/slash - could be seen as friendship.

It's been a year since the Narada and Nero and the destruction of Vulcan, and the anniversary is particularly difficult for Spock. Seemed appropriate for a day like this. T for mild swearing because I love McCoy, but he's a potty mouth.

Kirk, Spock and McCoy have been captured! thrown into a the savage world of illegal intergalatic fight rings, where either live or die was the only option. but there not alone, there new cellmate will help them through this adventure and......McCoy/OC

The Nero Incident is over, and everyone is adjusting back into the ebb and flow of the everyday. Uhura is enjoying some downtime back at the Academy when one unexpected, yet entirely logical event takes her by surprise...

What happens when our very own Mary Sue is given a chance to join the Dark Brotherhood by a very edgy and deadly yet somehow ruggedly handsome Speaker? Can she do it? Can Lucien remain in-character and sane? Can he stop Mary before she romances him? Hm.

NWN2 OC She's too young to be a leader, a Captain what's next, a Knight? But fate leaves little choice in the matter, as the shardbearer discovers when she's thrown into a world nothing could have prepared her for. Dead until further notice

You pass that same redheaded hobo on the street and each time he looks you dead in the eye, and you shiver. You know him, but from where?.:.Drabble based on the numerous times in the director's cut that Dan saw Walter on the street. Can be a tad slashy.

A series of Spock-centric drabbles, on a variety of subjects. Some are for spock100, over on LJ, others are not. Extra bonus points if you can tell nu!Spock from Spock!Prime, because I'm probably not going to tell you which ones are which.

Temp Haitus. Bored by time, Doctor Manhattan finds something else to stimulate him... alternate realities. In only one reality does Walter Kovacs make the jump to Rorschach, and for some reason, this fascinates him. Possibly the beginning of a series.

Between Sokka, Katara, Zuko, Aang and Toph there are ten possible pairings. Here is a oneshot for each of them. Mostly crack. Chapter 8 - Zukaang: How drunk do you have to be to mistake Zuko for Katara? ON INDEFINITE HIATUS.

Kirk is convinced he made a mistake inviting Spock to be his First Officer. Spock is pretty much certain it was a mistake too. They need to sort out their differences before they drive each other insane.

Pre-series, just after Jayne is hired, and before Zoe and Wash figure it out. Crew is kinda like family. Might not like each other, but you're still crew. Sometimes, though, it takes some kind of event, if only a minor one, for folks to figure that out.

...and one time he wasn't. K/S pre-slash "In retrospective, however, Kirk thought that it would’ve been better to actually listen to Uhura for once. Maybe then he and Spock would not be in the predicament they were in now."

Adam's going to University so Aziraphale and Crowley agree to Dog-sit. You try to do a friend a favour, and the next thing you know it's another one of *those* weeks where the world could end. Featuring Death, ducks and UST with disastrous consequences.

The end of a story doesn't mean the end of the journey. Neliel dislikes that someone has made her trade death for facing demons she cannot vanquish. Gann doesn't want to believe in a path he never intended to walk. By such wrongs, heroes are formed. MotB

NWN2:MotB. Set after the 'Silver Shards'. Healing can happen even if the supposed healer isn't interested in the job, but Gann's nightly visits to her dreams seem to be having a therapeutic effect despite his original intent. R&R please.

Following the events of the movie Kirk begins to wonder just what kind of a toll the loss of his planet and mother has taken on his first officer and the crew sets out on their first authorized mission even if Starfleet seems reluctant. R&R please.

Spock sat, loosely cross legged, on the floor just aside from his meditation alcove. His eyes were closed, his brow furrowed, and his fingers were wrapped tentatively around the sloping neck and dainty bow of a musical instrument.

K/S slash. AU. At the end of the movie, the older Spock did not seek out his younger self and encourage him to stay on the Enterprise. It falls to Jim to convince him. In other words, how to outfox a fox, when the fox is a Vulcan.

Grell looked quite flustered; this meant that he knew Sebastian was right. “That’s beside the matter. We let bygones be bygones, and there’s still the fact that I saved your precious master’s life!" Animeverse. GxS, undertones of SxC.

Takes place after the comic. Dan learns of Rorschach's untimely demise, and walks out alone into the cold Antarctic to retrieve his friend's hat and mask, the only lasting mementos of the great detective's existence. There, he laments. Please R & R!

1981- Rorschach is showing up at Dan's home more often, making him worry extensively about his former partner. Dan's decline in mental health worries Rorschach. Will they be able to put the worry away? *Subtle DD/R - mild language/violence*

My post NWN2 epilogue. Just when Knight Captain Lianna thinks some peace and quiet is in order, she and her friends find that some of the hardest battles come during peace. New: Ch 24, 'Heart of Darkness'. Feedback is always appreciated!

NWN2 OC to the music of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode 6x07! An unwilling Knight-Captain is faced with yet another challenge when Shandra is taken hostage by Zeeaire. Featuring a lovesick Casavir, an emotional Bishop, and a musically inclined nemesis.

Murtagh was once an innocent boy in love, before he became a monster, repulsed even by himself. Chance meetings change his out-look. Chipper than it sounds! No Brissy spoilers. Just imagination. Mild Murty romance.

In High Rock, where even maids have spies, a case of mistaken identity plunges Agronak into a tangled web of political intrigue, populated with witches, warlords, royalty, necromancers, and his unusual guide's extended family. Enjoy!

KuroFai. Another world, another job, and Kurogane and Fai are building one huge resume. Occupation twenty six: Trust takes years to build and seconds to shatter but they won't lose their trust in each other, though a child's song pulls them towards death

“Immortality is not a gift; it is a curse," she whispered with her dying breath, but I did not listen. If she will come to hate me, then let her hate me, as long as her hate is mine and mine alone. XL, or is it?

Before she was the Champion of Cyrodiil, she was Martin Septim's errand girl. He's not sure why she's willing to risk her life to hunt down Daedric artifacts and Welkynd Stones. She's not entirely certain, either.

The remnants of twilight still lingered in the air--an ephemeral glow from all the living. It was in this final breath of day that she appeared, bathed in the natural afterglow of the world. Thus began the one night magic spell. XL.

Spoilers for Neverwinter Nights 2: MotB. Female main character. Hope oft' finds roots in strange soil, and eucatastrophe has a way of finding the cause of the righteous. My own take on the ending of MotB.

Seeing themselves die on Ember Island stage is preying on Aang and Zuko's minds. When neither can sleep that night, each finds themself doing what they can to put the other at ease. Shaping your own destiny is harder than it sounds. Aang/Zuko friendship.

Immortals can choose not to feel their surroundings; they don't need to breathe, or to feel heat or cold, if they don't want to. And most immortals make full use of these abilities. There are two immortals, however, who revel in their five senses. Mild AC

Despite their differences, Katara and Zuko are going to have to get along whilst training the Avatar. But when they are both captured in the woods by a new mysterious and dangerous enemy, will they get more than they bargained for? A Zutara fan fiction.

A decade later, Lina finds herself traveling the roads alone. Xelloss, bereft of a lord to serve, finds her and decides to accompany her for a while. Things develop from there. Mature audiences only. XL of course.
